Getting started with Klaviyo

LimeLight and Backyard Discovery have partnered to scale DTC sales, aiming to make it their primary revenue stream. This success required a robust email and SMS marketing strategy, which LimeLight spearheaded, including the implementation of automated flows, ongoing campaigns, and A/B testing.

Customer Segmentation

Backyard Discovery targets diverse audiences, from young parents purchasing swing sets to luxury shoppers investing in outdoor kitchens. Utilizing Shopify and first-party data, we employed Klaviyo’s segmentation tools to create targeted email lists based on shopper behavior, purchase history, and customer engagement.

Scaling their success through A/B testing

The campaigns were an immediate success, exceeding expectations across all key metrics, including subscriber count, open and click rates, and sales from flows and campaigns. We continually use A/B testing to refine creative elements, calls to action, send times, and segmentation strategies.
